In relation to the identified priorities in the Guidance & Essential criteria what will your idea achieve and who will benefit from your project?

We are opening a visitor attraction inside the community owned Broadway cinema in Prestwick to make our town an even more attractive place to live and work. The Broadway meets all three priority areas: it will deliver an enhanced sense of place, and a high quality indoor space for the community. It will support training and educational opportunities. It will enhance the local economy and streetscape.

Please describe what you plan to do and what the money will be used for? (i.e., purchase equipment/resources)

We are seeking funding to deliver the Broadway Cinema Visitor Experience.  Our foyer space will be re-opened for project information, memberships, and merchandise sales.  There will be a pop-up museum located in our newly revealed 1930s auditorium.  Visitors will be able to soak up the unique atmosphere of an ‘arrested decay’ Grade C listed art-deco cinema.  The experience will be unique in Scotland and will bring significant economic benefits to the area.  It will provide a platform for the Broadway to generate sustained income, serving as a catalyst for future growth and continued project development.  Any money (gratefully received) will be used to purchase: Fire door installation/upgrades Licence fees (PRS/PVS)

Volunteer utility and toilet facility WiFi operating costs Donation terminals and subscriptions Industrial space heater  

These items will 'unlock' our ability to open our doors to the community and visitors, and keep them open.
